Seeing the DFB-Pokal final through the refcam is such an amazing perspective. Great stuff! 👏

Layers
At this weekend’s Homebrew Website Club, the topic of Taylor Swift came up (I wonder who brought that up!). One person shared the layers in the song exile; how they became more perceptible with different pieces of audio equipment. The song has layers.
Today I have been liste...
📄 Sending WebSub notifications
During IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf this year, I implemented sending WebSub notifications, to immediately notify potential subscribers, whenever my feeds update. Here's how I implemented this.
In other news, I can’t concentrate because tomorrow ………… 😱🤍♥️ #VfB #dfbpokal #wirholendenpokal
Alright, so … websites.
The first Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf Schepp and I co-organised turned out well. We gathered at Düsseldorf’s central library inside its “Xafé” café. We had 7 participating adults and 2 children. ;)
The meetup was more exchange and discussions than actual work on one’s websites. Discussed topics included:
- “I want to build my own website”
- Opinions on tooling
- RelMeAuth
- Podcast metric aggregation
- WebSub
- Personal publishing workflows and tools
- Image hosting
- RSS feeds
- …and probably even a few more.
Very enjoyable evening!
Making things happen
I have spent the last fifteen or so minutes exploring the newly-released Internet Phone Book. The book is a collection of hundreds of websites, as well as stories of the web. When I first saw the book online, I knew I would love it: it’s a mix of old and the new. Holding the ...
Just to name just a few bugs: text is suddenly jumping to different positions, some gradients are flipped in the opposite direction while editing, I get sudden color changes for multiple elements although I was changing the color for just one element, and my collaborator can’t see images I added to the layout. Also, the color picker just stopped working completely in my project – whenever I want to pick a color, Penpot crashes.
And as the project has grown a little, zooming and panning is now starting to get really laggy… 😕
Hope the team fixes most of those issues quickly, because overall it definitely is an impressive open-source tool. 👏💚
DevTools features I like: Computed CSS
One of my favourite parts of working with the web is the developer tools available. With browser developer tools, we can inspect individual elements on a page. We can even move, edit, and remove elements. We can change styles, inspect the values of scripts, and more. There ar...
Honestly, the new Fujifilm X half looks really appealing. I think there should be way more playful digital cameras, too - like this one.
play; ground
I love playing with code in the browser. I often create blank HTML files to explore ideas and to learn. I like experimenting with CSS features I have never used in a new file so I can learn the fundamentals and explore. I can start from a blank slate and see how my code – and...
Building an edit button browser extension
I have been using my website editing bookmarklet for the last few months to edit several websites. I can click the Edit bookmarklet and, if the page I am viewing has a rel=edit link, link anchor text that indicates an edit link, or is a page on my website, the corresponding e...
Florian made a public “Photography Channels” list on FeedCity. Already (re-)discovered some great YouTube channels and bookmarked a bunch of videos.

“This is not mixing!”
@danworrall is back and reviews an over-marketed AI-powered channel strip audio plugin that claims to do the hard work for you so that “you’ll effortlessly get your mixes spot-on 100% of the time”…
How do you expect it to end? 😉

Setting up a Zoom account for a community with an admin and Pro user
I have been running a monthly online event in a community I am in using my personal Zoom for a few months. We needed a Pro account so we would have unlimited meeting length, so I decided to upgrade mine with the intent of figuring out a better solution further down the line.
